Windows 10: How to stop OneDrive from syncing and duplicating EA Game files.

Hello,I am recently having issues with EA about one of their games. However, they have noticed that I use OneDrive. I do need it on, but not with a game that I am playing. Currently, that folder where the game is located in Documents has a red X because OneDrive did flag it.I can't turn off OneDrive when I start playing a game. If I do, then I get a Video Card error. However, the problem is that even though that folder in Documents has red x, OneDrive is still syncing it and now putting that folder on Desktop. How do I fix this issue?

OneDrive syncing duplicate folders

OneDrive keeps notifying "duplicate files" but is not saving both folders, cannot even find duplicates and will not stop syncing.

We have this connected to a network with multiple PCs. How to fix the synching issue and duplicate files?

 

Systemn Image Restore - "Duplicate" Files

Hi Bob,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community and being a part of Windows 10.

I understand the inconvenience you are facing in restoring the backed up files on your device as duplicates are created. Do not worry we will help you with this issue.

This appears that these files are from OneDrive folder. The duplicates are created because of sync related issues. The blue sync that you see is that the file is still syncing to the OneDrive cloud.

So first, you can refer to the below article for sync related issues and check if it helps.

I suggest you to clear Upload Center cache from OneDrive and check if it helps.

Follow these steps:

• Go to Start menu and open Upload Center for Office.
• Go to Settings.
• Click on 'Delete Cached Files for Office.'
• Click OK and check if the status.

Hope it helps. Get back to us for further assistance on this issue. We will be happy to help you.

 

onedrive duplicating my folders...

Hi.

Again, onedrive is going crazy and is duplicating my main folder, full of subfolders. It's locking me out of all my files. I have windows 10, Office 365 home. I paused synch at the moment before I have 1000 copy of my folder, which I can't open anyway!
Please don't ask me any question that will further delay the repair. Simply give me a step by step solution and then improve onedrive so this won't happen again to so many of us. I suggest you also add "onedrive" in the list of "Windows Topics" below since
thousands of users have issues with it.

Thanks

Michel
